In middle school when I first experienced the adrenaline of "slamming" someone. (Slamming's not allowed, but hey, as long as your opponent's foot touches the ground before you shove'em)
It depends on thumb size, but the adult distance from thumbnail to first thumb knuckle is about 1 inch; the thumb itself is 2-3 inches long
No. But don't suck on your thumb, it's weird.
the terminology of door check and door closer are from long ago, in 1880's and 1890's door closers were just a spring device to pull the door shut but not really control the closing speed or force, door check, that was more of a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder with a piston inside (think of a regular screen door closer, but without the spring) was used together with a door spring to create some controlled door closing, and prevention od door slamming. now, the term of door check is faded because after the rack and pinion hydraulic closer was invented, the dampening effect was added onto the device in the manufacturing process. hence now they are all referred to as door CLOSER. hope this helps, expert in closers here
A door could be that long.
Sort of! They have a long, bony protrusion on each front paw that serves the purpose of a thumb. So, they have 5 fingers and a "thumb" on each paw.
a thumb tack is about 2 centimeters long.

"Thumb-long" is a descriptive term used to indicate the length of an object, typically referring to something being the size of an average human thumb. It is a rough estimate used to give a general idea of the object's length.
